We're stronger together

Q2_Spark_logo_fc-@2x

Q2’s mission is to build strong and diverse communities by strengthening their financial institutions. For us, community means the regions our customers call home, the cities we work in, and our global employee community. As a part of this mission, Q2’s new Corporate Social Responsibility program is known as Q2 Spark. Q2 team members give their time, resources, talent, and expertise to impact our neighbors, our customers, and one another. All it takes is one person to spark a change, create something new, launch a great idea, but it takes many to make it grow. That’s who we are at Q2, innovators who make the world better, together.

Austin Q2-1

Two teams. One community.

By sponsoring Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium, we’re sharing our unwavering commitment to strengthen the Austin community by bringing it together in new ways. And together, we’re launching new community programs – like an annual $150,000 non-profit giving campaign and the $100,000 Dream Starter Competition for Austin entrepreneurs. Soccer brings people from all walks of life and all over the world together—and we want to be a part of that in our own community here in Austin.

Have a dream? Austin FC and Q2 can help make it a reality.

In 2021, Austin FC & Q2 teamed up and launched the Dream Starter competition. The Dream Starter Competition is an annual business initiative allowing Austinites from underrepresented groups to demonstrate ingenuity and compete for $100,000 in “Dream Starter” funds to accelerate their entrepreneurial venture and turn their dreams into reality. As part of Austin FC’s Inclusivity through Equity community pillar, this initiative builds on Q2’s mission to build strong and diverse communities by strengthening their financial foundations. In collaboration with DivInc and its aim to connect underrepresented entrepreneurs with the resources needed to build profitable, high-growth companies, the Austin FC Dream Starter funds aid Austinites in overcoming financial barriers to attain entrepreneurial success.

The first winner of the Dream Starter competition, Anthony Gantt of At Ease Rentals Corporation, was announced at the inaugural home Austin FC match on June 19, 2021, at Q2 Stadium.

Changing Lanes CDL Driving school was announced as the winner of the 2022 Austin FC Dream Starter Competition Presented by Q2 Holdings Inc., in collaboration with DivInc.

Jumpstart your business venture and apply for the annual Dream Starter competition to turn your dream into reality! Applications open annually in the spring. For more information, visit https://www.austinfc.com/dreamstarter

CAUSES OUR TEAM MEMBERS CHAMPION

Fostering connections that create long-term action can build equity, opportunity, and a higher quality of life for all of Austin’s citizens. With this in mind, Q2 is one of the first corporate sponsors of Austin’s African American Leadership Institute, which focuses on increasing civic awareness, advancement opportunities, and employee retention for Austin’s Black population.

COMMUNITY IS OUR MISSION

We believe in the power of community – and our global team supports relevant causes they believe in and strengthen the communities they serve. Through the use of the Qmmunity volunteerism tracking tool, team members’ volunteer hours can translate to additional financial contributions by Q2.
Q2 STRENGTHENING Q2

Q2’s mission to strengthen communities translates to our employee community. We work hard to provide ways for team members to stay connected, engaged, productive, and well, especially as the way Q2 team members around the world work is redefined following COVID-19.

Q2 Compassion Fund

We believe in the power of helping each other. That’s why we created the Q2 Compassion Fund to give Q2 team members an avenue to share their resources with fellow employees experiencing hardships and disasters.

Support for Diverse Populations

The importance of diverse communities has never been clearer. By sponsoring events such as the Texas Conference for Women, we prioritize fresh perspectives. We highlight the importance of inclusion networking groups and collaboration programs designed to address the needs of diverse groups, including the lgbt+ community, people of color, and more.

One of the things I love most about being a part of Q2 is how they support giving back to the community. As an employee, I have so many options to give back. When COVID-19 essentially eliminated in-person fundraising for my daughter’s cheer team, I was able to use my COVID-19 wellness stipend to donate towards team supplies.
